Comments: These chairs are beautiful and the walnut is amazing; however, after owning them for a week they looked way worse than my 20 year old Pottery Barn chairs. At first, I thought that the scores along the wood frame were from shipping (the damage happened that fast) but as it turns out it is from LIGHTLY sliding the DINING chairs into the DINING table. These chairs are not at all slammed or treated poorly but they now have divots in the wood where the chairs meet the table. Customer service sent me a staining pen as a solution...even though i said there were noticeable dents in every one. They said that that was how the chairs are made and they will not finish their wood products in a way that will protect them. They gave me a giant...Oh well...essentially. They even suggested I send my very expensive chairs to a wood finisher to fill in the dents and protect the chairs. Are you kidding, RandB????? Beautiful but cannot be used.

Comments: We have a metal table with a granite top and the walnut chairs look great but we hadn't even used the chairs yet when we realized that as soon as you pushed in the chairs and they hit the metal (even gently), they were marked up. So after a couple of weeks they all have the same marks. However with 3 kids 7 and under they are virtually untipable so we will be keeping them, marks and all!

Comments: I was intriged by the reviewer that reccommended going to South Cone to look for a better built and less expensive chair than the Afton Side Chair in walnut. No way can you find a comprable alternative at South Cone. It's not even in the same catagorey of the kind furniture that Room and Board sells. The suggestion is an odd one. First, this chair is so study you could beat it with a baseball bat and it would not break or even wobble. And second, you could probaly find something else cheaper at South Core but it would be an entirely different aesthetic. They have nothing even remotely as simple and well designed as this chair. I would also like to note that the Afton comes in leather as well. And it is lovely with or with out.

Comments: I recently moved, purchasing all new furniture for my condo - most of it from Room and Board. I love every bit of it. My kitchen, dining, and living area are all one room; so I wanted furniture that was large enough for our family of three but sleek and minimalist in order to fit the space. These chairs - which I bought with the Linden table - are perfect. They're the most comfortable wooden chairs I've ever used, and their appearance is unremarkable - which I mean in the best way possible. The chairs are pretty, comfy, and sturdy.

Comments: The chair backs are a perfect height for my family because we're all on the shorter side, but I'm pretty confident that taller people would be comfortable as well. The chair as a whole seems indestructible and very soundly made; plus, it's a beautiful dark color that goes with the lighter walnut of my dining room table. One con is that people used to a cushion would find it uncomfortable to sit in this chair for too long, but this problem is easily solved by adding a chair cushion.

Comments: It usually takes us a long time to find what we are looking for, and we'll keep looking until we're satisfied there is nothing else out there that will meet our needs. We took one look at these chairs and knew they would be perfect. Beautiful, well-made, comfortable. What more could one ask for. Love them.

Afton

A Room & Board classic, the Afton chair features a clean, modern look due to its crisp lines and the precision craftsmanship of Vermont woodworkers. A versatile style, it’s designed for comfort with contoured solid wood seats.

Material Details

Material Description: Maple is a durable, timeless hardwood. Even after maple is harvested and made into furniture, it continues to be a living, breathing material that responds to its environment - it expands and contracts with changes in humidity and may change color over time as it's exposed to air, sunlight and wear. Our maple with charcoal stain features a hand-applied stain that was designed to easily mix with other woods and materials.

Colors may vary depending on your monitor and printer. For color accuracy, request a swatch.
